Stolen Guns for Bail

Ace Deuce Bail Bonds

Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose

The bail industry and bail bondsmen serve no public safety function for Californians. In the illustrative case of Ace Deuce Bail Bonds, rather than protecting the public, its bail bondsmen regularly break the law themselves — all to line their pockets.

A law enforcement search of Ace Deuce Bail Bonds, Rapoza’s home and storage locker turned up assault weapons and ammunition, as well as methamphetamine.

“Prosecutors charged Rapoza with illegal possession and transportation of a Stag Arms .223 assault rifle and an Interdynamic 9mm handgun, also classified in the complaint as an assault weapon. [A search] also turned up a Winchester pump shotgun, a Taurus .38 revolver, a Daniel Defense .223 rifle, a Survival Arms .223 rifle, a Glock semiautomatic pistol, a Taurus .357 revolver, a Sturm Ruger .357 revolver, a Derringer .38, a Vulcan .223 rifle, a Jennings .22 pistol, a stun gun and some 9mm ammunition,” according to the Bee.

The jury is in: the for-profit bail system is unjust and is not keeping us safe. So who wants to keep the broken money bail system in place? The bail bonds industry and their out-of-control bail agents who play by their own rules – all in pursuit of a buck.
